"Look for the positives. It's hard work being a father," King said. "It's easy to find 10 things wrong with somebody and we've got to start looking for the two or three things that are right. We need to move forward positively.

"I grew up thinking I wasn't worthy. What I've realised after 50 years is that the only person I have to please is myself. It's only after 51 years that I'm starting liking myself."

In response to a question on his views on psychotropic medication used to treat mental health disorders, King said they worked for him but didn't always work.

"I agree that doctors are throwing [psychotropic medication] around like lollies and I agree that they have also saved a lot of lives," he said.

However, he wanted doctors to give patients receiving the drugs more information about possible side effects as he believed some people committed suicide as a result of side effects.

"Drugs kill the symptoms, they don't kill the disease."

The talk was filled with typical King humour but the important message was that people needed to talk about their problems, not only listen to others' problems.
